Jack Reagan's Model T Replica
The members of the Fox Valley Model T Club toured the Ronald Reagan Boyhood Home and was disappointed to learn that the Model T, which has been on display for a number of years, was static and not in condition to run properly. Upon returning home they decided to speak with the club members and called the Reagan Home offering to help.
The engine was rebuilt, springs were replaced and was shined and polished like never before. An incredible amount of time, energy and money went into this project with not only the club donations but an incredible amount of parts from Snyder’s Antique Autos, donated labor from Kevin Prus who rebuilt the engine, donated glass from Herb’s Glass.
